Orro Gold STC Ultegra R500DB Road Bike 2023

Orro Gold STC Ultegra R500DB Road BikeThe Orro Gold STC Ultegra sits comfortably at the pinnacle of road racing performance. It features Orro's Spread Tow Carbon (STC) frameset that combines all the best elements of strength and aerodynamics at low weight. It's equipped with an exceptional fast shifting and reliable mechanical Shimano Ultegra 2x11-Speed groupset, hydraulic disc brakes and Fulcrum R500 race wheels wrapped in high-grip Continental Grand Sport Race tyres.Competitive Geometry Full Carbon Road Race BikeGold STC represents the Orro gold standard in ride quality with a competitive frameset weight and clean aesthetic. The geometry of their longest-running model has been revised across a myriad of generations to create a bike that seamlessly balances speed with efficiency for endurance riding. The rider is perfectly positioned to allow for full focus on the ride ahead while the Sigmatex engineered spread tow carbon frame offers ride dampening qualities for unrivalled comfort.Stiff, Strong and Lightweight Sigmatex Carbon FramesetOrro's unique relationship with Sigmatex, who are a UK based carbon composite specialist, allows Orro to have an intrinsically detailed and supportive design ethic so they can produce the best results. The STC material was chosen for its combination of low weight and high stiffness allowing Orro to optimise certain areas of the frame for the ride characteristics that they wish to promote. This has given Orro a future classic in the Gold STC - a bike of climbing category weight with all the comfort and efficiency required to take on any endurance challenge you can point it at.Shimano Ultegra 8000 Groupset with Hydraulic Disc BrakesShimano Ultegra is the pro-proven choice with direct design input from the top tier Dura Ace race groupset. Using incredible manufacturing techniques such as entirely hollow cranks and outer chainring significantly reduces weight. Gear shifts feel exceptionally light, and the brake levers offer a more natural modulation curve for a totally stress-free operation ideal for all-day riding scenarios. For improved braking control in all conditions, Servo Wave technology brings the brake pads in contact with the rotor faster and the power multiplication factor enhances the power rapidly.STC Spread Tow Carbon FramesetOrro uses Spread Tow Carbon from leading global carbon specialist, Sigmatex on their Gold bikes. This exquisite carbon fabric uses unidirectional spread tow tapes, allowing for a much larger number of fibres in a smaller space. As a result of this, they have been able to create a frame and fork that is exceptionally low in weight, while boasting brilliant stiffness and comfort.Gran Fondo GeometryPerfectly developed and obsessively refined to create the ultimate Gran Fondo machine. The Gold possesses geometry and character that rewards the audacious. Supremely comfortable while cruising on the tops - aggressive and efficient when powering in the drops.Up to 28c Tyre ClearanceThe Gold Disc will take up to a 28c tyre for a faster, more comfortable ride. Wider tyres are scientifically proven to lower rolling resistance as well as increasing comfort on rougher roads that are common in the UK. This paired with the Grand Fondo geometry of the Gold makes for an excellent ride even on the longest days in the saddle.
